Looking for some stylish catering trends that will keep your wedding guests full and happy amid the searing the heat?  Well look no further!  Here are some of the hottest trends in wedding catering that can take your wedding menu from fair to fab!

Thirst-Quenching Drinks
Get the party started with delicious, refreshing drinks that let your guests quench their thirst.  Think iced tea bars or chic lemonade stands garnished with fresh, cut fruit and tasty cocktails for the adults – daiquiris, margaritas, sangrias, and martinis. 

Chilly Apps
Cold appetizers are another great way to incorporate seasonal fare into your summer wedding celebration.  During your reception or the cocktail hour, serve shrimp cocktail, bruschetta with tomato and basil, crab dip, or gazpacho. 

Upscale Picnic

Upscale picnic cuisine is an elegant yet fun theme without the steep price tag.  Try serving coconut shrimp, mini burger sliders, or your favorite BBQ chow with a gourmet twist.

Light Desserts
Skip the heavy desserts (especially if the reception or dinner is outdoors) and opt for light, succulent desserts.  Try gelato, Italian ice, or your favorite fruit pie or cobbler. 

Flavored Water

Add some flair without any cost!  One renowned Utah wedding caterer says a fun summer drink (that also makes a beautiful presentation) is flavored water.   Create a station with beverage servers filled with flavored water where guests can slake their thirst.  Add lemons, limes, cucumbers, strawberries, and more to give each a unique and delicious flavor.
